LSU coach Paul Mainieri said the Tigers are looking forward to the opportunity to take the field again after dropping two of three games last weekend to Appalachian State.

"Our players realize that they are going to face adversity over the course of a long baseball season," Mainieri said. "A team is measured by how it responds in the difficult times, and it's up to us to respond in the right way. Grambling just came off of a great series in which they swept Florida A&M, so I'm sure they will come in here with a lot of confidence and challenge us on Tuesday night."

Mainieri said that freshman left-hander Cody Glenn (1-0) will make his first career collegiate start on Tuesday night. Glenn, a native of Houston, earned a win in relief last Wednesday versus McNeese State, allowing two runs on three hits in three innings with two walks and four strikeouts.

LSU's pitching staff has a cumulative 2.14 ERA through seven games as the Tigers have surrendered just 15 earned runs in 63 innings. Opponents are batting only .210 against the LSU staff, which has recorded 68 strikeouts and 16 walks.

Senior third baseman Tyler Hanover batted .364 (4-for-11) in the Appalachian State series with one run scored.

Grambling coach James Cooper will send sophomore left-hander Joel Deleon (0-1) to the mound on Tuesday against LSU. Deleon worked 5.1 innings in a start last Wednesday at Stephen F. Austin, allowing six runs on seven hits with four walks and two strikeouts.
